Original Description
The August folio from Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry (1412–16) by the Limbourg brothers captures the golden warmth of medieval aristocracy at leisure. This illuminated manuscript page depicts a scene of courtly falconry against the backdrop of the Château d'Étampes, where nobles in sumptuous brocades ride through fields of ripened wheat. The Limbourgs' exquisite detail—from the falconer's embroidered gloves to the play of light on the castle's towers—embodies the International Gothic style, blending naturalism with decorative elegance. As the crown jewel of late medieval illumination, this work revolutionized book arts by integrating secular scenes into devotional calendars, reflecting Duke Jean de Berry's dual passions for piety and earthly splendor. The intricate borders of ivy and gold leaf, paired with the narrative richness of seasonal activities, make this folio a masterpiece bridging sacred and courtly traditions.
For a modern interior, a high-quality reproduction of August would elevate a study or executive office with its regal tranquility. The ideal display would be an alcove with warm, directional lighting to mimic manuscript illumination—consider framing it in a slender gold leaf moulding with subtle blue matting to echo the sky tones. Its vertical format (approx. 22x14cm in original) suits narrow walls between bookshelves or above a credenza. Pair it with rich textures: a oxblood leather chair or linen drapery in wheat-gold would harmonize with the harvest palette, while avoiding competing patterns. For contemporary contrast, place it alongside minimalist steel bookends or a single modern sculpture in patinated bronze. The scene's narrative charm makes it particularly effective in spaces meant for contemplation, where its layered details reward prolonged viewing.
